Another Good Day

Yesterday Yasu finished work early again because of the rain. It was good though, to have him home early again. He came home, changed and then we hit the shops.

He wanted to get some more glasses because our health insurance lets us get two free pairs of glasses each per year, and we both got one pair last september. I didn’t want to get another pair because my eyes have changed since I got the last pair so I needed to have another eye test and couldn’t be bothered. But anyway, Yasu was hoping to get the same pair as last time as we both like the frame, but it seems to have been discontinued which was a bummer. Anyway, we looked around and he found another pair which really look funky and have a tortoiseshell-like effect on the frame, even the girl there complimented him on them, so he was chuffed.

Anyway, we had to wait for an appointment with the optometrist so Yasu could get more contact lenses and we had about half an hour to kill so we wandered around to the cafe and bought some wedges and sour cream and sat and watched everyone walking by.

After that Yasu went to his appointment and I waited for him on their plush leather sofa. When he was finished we went to the supermarket and did some grocery shopping and Yasu announced he was going to cook omurice for dinner – something I had requested a couple of weeks ago.

As usual it was yum! He definitely makes the best omurice I’ve ever tasted, I love the buttery egg. :)

And to top it off he made mine personalised:

Omurice in my name :)

To top it off he washed all the dishes and then gave me a small pressie :) Keep it up Yasu! x

Lets Makan in Mandurah!

Today I went down south to Mandurah with my mum. I caught the train to her station and then she got on and we went to the end of the line, which we both had never been to before. The end of the line is Mandurah, about 1 hours drive from Perth, and a coastal community by the sea. It’s a popular place for holidays and retirees.

We did some sight-seeing along the water, lots of little shops selling souvenirs, fairy shops, cheapie shops, a choco cafe selling everything that’s chocolate including drinkable chocolate (didn’t have time to go back, will do another day), clothes, shoes etc etc

There is an outlet clearance store there that mum wanted to go to, she ended up buying 2 pairs of shoes and a skirt.

We then went and had lunch on the water, good old fish n’ chips. The fish was perfectly battered, crispy and crunchy, and the chips were long and crispy with lots of salt and vinegar! Heaven!

Fish n' Chips!

Finally we caught the train back, mum got off at her stop and I went on to the city, then Yasu picked me up at the end of my line. We then went and had Hungry Jacks (Burger King) for dinner…I was still full so I took mine home (Whopper meal), but Yasu had the new Chicken Cheesy Bacon Tender Crisp meal there.

From there we retired to opposite ends of the house, Yasu played Tokunaga on the pc, and I read “The Devil Wears Prada”. I’ve seen the movie before, the book just wasn’t as good as the movie though. Nothing beats Meryl Streep on the screen!
